They\nwere found ln one of the low taverns\nby tbe riverside drinking. One of them\nwas already too far gone to speak;\nthe otber, with a stronger head, was\nable to give Information, which be was\nquite ready to do. A gentleman, be\nsaid, bad engaged tbe cbalr and bad\ngiven tbem a guinea to drink If they\nwould suffer blm to find his own chairmen. Bis description of tbe gentleman corresponded wltb tbat already\nfurnished. He spoke of a tall gentleman wltb a (lushed face and rough\nmanner of speech. He knew notblng\nmore except that two men, strangers\nto himself, bad taken tbe cbalr and\ncarried It off.\n\"Oentlemen,\" said his lordship\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2there can be, I fear, no doubt The\nabduction of Miss Molly has been designed and attempted by Mr. Rising.\nFortunately be cannot bave gone very\nfar. It remains for us to Und tbe road\nwblcb be bas taken.\"\nThev fell to considering tbe various\nroads which lead out of the tow 1.\nThere Is the highroad to Ely Cambridge and London, hut to carry a\nchair wltb an unwilling lady In It on\nthe highroad, frequented by night as\nwell as by day with travelers of all\nkinds and strings of pack horses, would\nbe ridiculous. There was the road\nwhich led to the villages on the e.pst\nside of tbe Wash. There was also the\nroad to Swaffham and Norwich.\n\"1 am of opinion,\" said one of the\ngentlemen, \"that he has fixed on some\nlonely place not far from Lynn where\nhe can make her prisoner until she\ncomplies with his purpose and consents to marry him.\"\nCaptain Crowle shook his head. \"She\nwould never consent,\" he said. \"My\ngirl Is almost as strong as any man\nand quite as resolute. There will be\nmurder If this villain attempts violence.\"\nJust then tbe landlady of the Crown\nthrew open tbe door and burst In. \"Oh,\ngentlemen, gentlemen,\" she cried, \"I\nhave found out where they are gone!\nHide after tbem! Ride after tbem,\nquick, before worse mischief la done. 1\nhave ordered all tbe horses In the stables to be saddled. There are eight,\nQnick, gentlemen! Ride after them!\"\n\"Quick, quick!\" said his lordship.\n\"Where are they? Where are they?\"\nThe captain sprang up.\n\"They are on their way. They cannot bo there yet.\"\n\"But where? Where?\"\n\"Mr. Rising ordered a poBt chaise to\nwait for him at 10 o'clock.\"\n\"He left the gardens,\" said his lordship, \"about tbat time. Go on.\"\n\"He ordered It at the Duke's Head.\nThe postboy told the hostler his orders.\nHe was to wait for Mr. Rising at the\nTraveler's Rest on the way to Woot-\nten.\"\n\"The Traveler's Rest? What kind of\nplace Is that?\".\n\"It Is a bad place, my lord\u00E2\u0080\u0094a villainous place on a lonely road up and\ndown which there Is little traveling. It\nIs a resort of peddlers, tinkers nnd the\nlike, gypsies, vagabonds, footpads and\nrogues. It Is no place for a young lady.\"\n\"It Is not, Indeed,\" said one of the\ngentlemen.\n\"Gentlemen,\" tbe landlady repeated,\n\"ride after blml Ride after them! Oh,\nthe sweet Miss Molly!\"\n\"Are tbe horses ready?\"\n\"Tbey will be ready In a minute.\"\n\"Gentlemen, tbere are, you hear,\neight horses. Captain Crowle will take\none. I will take another. The remaining six are st your disposal. I shall\nfeel honored If you will accompany me,\nbut on one condition, If you will allow\nme to make a condition. The man will\nfight, I suppose?\"\n\"Tom Rising,\" ono of tbem replied,\n\"would fight the devil.\"\n\"Ons could desire nothing better.\nThe condition Is that when we overtake Mr. Rising you will Icavo him to\nme. That Is understood V\n\"My lord, we cannot, by your leave,\nallow your valuable life to be at the\nhazard of a duel with a man both desperate and reckless.\"\n\"I shall take care of myself, I assure\nyou. Meantime, If I fall, I nnme Colonel f.anyon to succeed me. nnd after\nblm. should he, too. unhappily fall,\nyou will yourselves name bis successor.\nGentlemen, we must rescue the lady,\nnnd we must punish tbe abductor. I\nhear tbe horses. Come.\"\nCHAPTER VIIL\nTHE DUEL.\nHE postboy, foreseeing\neveuts which might\nrequire a clear stage,\nwarily drew his chaise\noff the road, which\nbere widened Into a\nsmall area trodden Oat\nby many feet. Into the\ngrassy field at tbe side, and stood at\nthe horses' bends In readiness.\nTho men on tbe ladder, who were\npulling away at the thatch with zeal,\nstopped tbelr work. \"What's that,\nGeorge?\" asked ono. \"Seems like\nhorses. They're coming after the young\nlady likely.\" So be slid down the ladder, followed by the other, and they\nran round to tbe front, seizing their\npoles In case of need. At elections nnd\non tbe occasion of a street light the\nchairman's pole bns often proved a\nvery efficient weapon. Handled with\ndexterity, It Is like a quarter stnff. but\nheavier, and will not only stun n man,\nbut will bralu blm or break arm, leg\nor ribs for blm.\n\"Kor my part.\" Molly told me. \"I\nsaw them suddenly desist from I heir\nwork, though In a few minutes the\nhole In the thatch would have been\nlarge enough to admit of n man's pass\nIng through. I wns walling within\nknire In band. Do you think I would\nhave suffered one of those fellows m\nlay band upon me? Well. In the mhlsi\nof their work they stopp.'d. they listen\ned, and they stepped down the ladder\nWbat did tbls me.-in? There was no\nwindow to the loft except a single\nframe of glass with half a dozen small\ndiamond shaped panes, too high up in\nserve any purpose except to admit a\nlittle light I put my head through the\nhole In the thatch, and 1 heard -linng\nine my Joy\u00E2\u0080\u0094the clatter of horses' hoofs-\nand tbe voices at the horsemen. Anil\ntheu I knew and wns quite certain thai\nmy rescue bad arrived. Mack,' I salt!\nto myself, 'has found out the way taken\nby this villain and Is riding after\nhim.'\"\nAlasl I wbo should bave been riding\nIn tbe front of all was at tbat moment\nunconsciously sleeping In my bunk\naboard tbe Lady of Lynn.\n\"I thought tbat at sucb a moment\nMr. Rising would be wholly occupied\nwltb defending himself. I therefore\nwithdrew the bonrds from tbe top of\nthe stair and looked down. No one\nwas In the room below that I could\nsee. 1 cautiously descended. In the\ncorner of tbe settle by the fireplace\ntbere was tbe old woman of tbe house\n\" They are coming after you. missy,'\nshe said. \"I ktii'w now It would end.\nI warned blm. I told blm that everything was against It. I read his luck\nby the cards and by the magpies and\nby the swallows. Everything was\nagainst It. They are coming. Hark!\nThey.are very close now. And they\nwill kill him.'\n\"I ran to the open door. Mr. Rising\nwas In the middle of the road, without\nhis hat, his sword In his band; behind\nhim.stood bis chairmen. He was pot\ngoing to give me up without a fight.\nThe postboy had drawn the chaise Into\nthe field, and the sedan chair was\nstanding beside it. And down the\nroad, only a little way off, I saw In the\ngrowing light of daybreak Lord Fyllngdale leading, the captain beside\nblm and balf a dozen gentlemen following, all on horseback.\n\"'There she Is! There Is Molly!'\ncried the captain. \"What cheer, lass?\nWhat cheer?'\n\"Lord Fyllngdale held up his hand.\nThe whole party drew rein and halted.\nThen their leader dismounted. They\nwere now nbout 20 yards from the\nmen. He threw his reins to the nearest of the little troop. 'Gentlemen,'\nhe said, 'we must proceed witb this\nbusiness without hurry or bluster or\nthreats. Mr. Rising will perhaps\nthreaten and bluster. We are here to\nrescue a lady and to punish a villain.\nLet both be done without appearance\nof wrath or reveng*e. Captain Crowle,\ndo not dismount, I entreat you, until\nthe conclusion of the next act. Molly\nIs, as you see, apparently safe and unhurt.'\n\"Tbey obeyed.\n\" 'I shall uow measure swords with\nthe young gentleman who thinks that\nbe can carry off heiresses with Impunity. I would advise you to advance\na little closer to the house. He must\nunderstand that punishment awaits\nhim, If not from me, then from some\nother of this company.'\n\" 'Look at Tom,' said one of them.\n*nis blood Is up. He Is now all for\nfighting. He means mischief. If ever\nhe has meant mischief. I remember nt\nSwaffham when he fought the young\nsquire of neadlngley. That was about\na girl, too\u00E2\u0080\u0094a mere, worthless drab of\na tavern servant. Tom broke down bis\nman's guard and ran him through In\nhalf a minute. I wish we were well\nout of this Job.'\n\"Tom stood In the road, as I have\nsaid, his sword In hand, his hat lying\non the ground before him. If flaming\ncheeks and eyes as fiery as those of a\nbull brought to bay mean mischief,\ntben Tom's Intention was murderous.\n'\"To thwart Tom In anything,' the\ngentleman went on, Ms dangerous; but\nto take away bis girl\u00E2\u0080\u0094and such a girl\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nto rob him of that great fortune Just at\nthe moment of success, would madden\ntbo mildest of men. He looks like n\nmadman. Should one warn bis lordship? And be bas got two chairmen\nwith tbelr poles lu readiness. We\nshould ride In upon tbem before they\nenn do any mischief.' So they whispered.\n\"Said Captain Crowle: 'Kill him, my\nlord. Kill the villain. Kill hi in.'\n\"'Let me warn your lordship,' snld\nthe gentleman wbo bad last spoken.\n'Ills method will be a tierce attnek. lie\nwill try to break down your guard,'\n\" 'I know thut method,' Lord Fyllng*\ndalo replied coldly. Then be stepiscd\nforward and took off his hnt. 'Mr.\nRising,' he said, 'this affair might\nvery well be settled by two or three\nsailors or common porters. We are\nwilling, bo*Wever, to treat you as a gentleman, which, sir, you no louger deserve.'\n\" 'Go on, go on,' ssid Tom. ' 'Twill\nbe all the muni' In five minutes.'\n\" '1 nm therefore going to do you tho\nhonor of fighting you.'\n\" 'I shall show you bow I appreciate\nthat honor. Stop talking, man, and\nbegin.'\n\" '1 must, however, warn you that If\nyou aro to fight os a gentlemnn you\nmust try to behave as one for thla occasion only. Sliould you attempt any\nkind of treachery my friends will In\nlerferc. In (hat case you will certainly\nnot leave the field alive.'\nI io usi isj.vriNUED.1 ^\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094**.. m MbtSm\nllorarfls-als.\nRiiRRlnn physlchins assert thnt horse-\nflesh Is more nutritious thnn beef.\nLooping tH\u00C2\u00A9 Loop-A\n\A*forftc^\n*4Jl\nOne of the marvels of the age la\nsensational show features is the perilous feat known as \"Loop theLoop\"\nwhich will be performed at tho Winnipeg Industrial exhibition July 21\nto 25, this year.
